Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian doesn't have the strength to take revenge right now, and what he has to do for a long time is to continuously increase his strength.

What he has to do now is to let Mrs. Mi use it for himself.

He decided to provoke Mrs. Mi, and Jia Lian bet that she would not be indifferent to his son's situation.

Jia Lian said: "After listening to Madam's narration, I personally think that what you have done is understandable, but the emperor and the officials of the Ministry of punishment and military department don't think so, they think you are coming in front of the gate of the imperial city. Robbery is a provocation to the imperial power, and it must be punished severely, so as to serve as a warning to others."

Madam Mi's face changed for the first time: "Severe punishment is not negligent? How severe punishment? Imprisonment?"

Jia Lian shook his head.

"exile?"

Jia Lian continued to shake his head.

Mrs. Mi's face was pale: "No way, didn't the government call for safety in the past, pay travel expenses, and everyone break up?"

Only then did Jia Lian understand Mrs. Mi's calmness, and it turned out that it was Zhao'an's idea.

Jia Lian said: "The emperor's original words: If they dare to attack the canal today, they dare to enter the Forbidden City tomorrow. They must be severely punished and not neglected to serve as an example to others!"

Mrs. Mi suddenly became excited: "Corrupt officials burned, killed and looted but got promoted to get rich. The common people can't bear it. They are provoking the imperial power. Heinous crimes. Is there any justice in this world?"

Jia Lian said: "The emperor is high above you. He doesn't know the crimes of the Huguang inspector, nor your grievances. Of course, he makes decisions based on what he sees and hears."

Mrs. Mi was stunned, she stared at Jia Lian: "What does the official mean, telling you our grievances is useless? Is there no one in this world who can speak his conscience, save us poor people, and give us justice? "

Jia Lian said: "Of course there is such a person, but I'm afraid she will be timid and afraid to stand out!"

Madam Mi stared at Jia Lian: "Who?"

Jia Lian stared at Mrs. Mi without speaking.

Madam Mi's eyes slowly narrowed: "The officer means, me?"

Jia Lian nodded: "You, your son, and those fishermen whose homes were burned!"

"Can we find a way out for ourselves? How?"

Jia Lian said: "I can give you a chance to sue and seek fair treatment. Do you dare to take it?"

Mrs. Mi's eyes showed suspicion: "You? Why did you help us?"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "If I say that I plead for the lives of the people in the world because I am impartial and selfless, you will not believe me. Well, let me tell you, I have a grudge against the person surnamed Gu. I will use your affairs to punish the person surnamed Gu. I will punish the person named Gu." If I don’t kill him, I will also peel off their skin. Next time I have a chance, I will kill him, is this a good reason?”

Madam Mi was very moved: "Can I ask, what did the Gu family do to make the official hate it so much?"

Jia Lian was silent, and Wang's usury must not be revealed.

Mrs. Mi waited so quietly, as if Jia Lian did not give an answer, she would not agree to go to Beijing.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Although the family ugliness should not be publicized, but in order to win the trust of my wife, I will tell you. Because the Gu family coveted a treasure inherited from my family's ancestors, they seduced the chief manager of my family and took advantage of their position to detain my family. I found out that they had burned all the bonds. Although they successfully prevented their plot, the incident dealt a heavy blow to my family, causing most of my family’s property to be directly lost. And my family’s years The servants were originally loyal, but half of them betrayed under their instigation."

"They not only caused my family to suffer a loss of money, but also shamed my family. Madam, tell me, now that there is a ready opportunity for revenge, can I let it go?"

Mrs. Mi asked: "Can I ask, how far can you help me? Or, what will happen to these children?"

Jia Lian had already thought about this question, and he blurted out: "It is impossible to be acquitted, but I will do my best to mediate, save their lives, let them go to the sea to serve, and let them have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and shine in the family. What does Madam think?"

At this time the stairs sounded.

Jia Lian recognized that it was an ink book, because he asked, "What's the matter?"

Mo Shu said: "Mo Hua slipped his tongue. Little Leopard knows the identity of the second master. He said he has something to say to the second master."

Jia Lian didn't hesitate: "Send him up, you guard the door!"

"Yes!"

For a moment, the little leopard was pushed into the door by Mo Shu, but his mouth was stuffed with a stinky sock.

Jia Lian glanced over: "Loosen your mouth, you guys go out!"

The little leopard got his mouth free and immediately asked: "Are you a celebrity in front of the emperor?"

Jia Lian nodded, "That's right."

The little leopard knelt down with a thud: "Can you take brother Luo and take us to court?"

Jia Lian was secretly happy. He originally wanted Madam Mi to sue for impeachment, but thought of Madam Mi's physical condition, so he gave up the idea.

At this moment, he is thinking about who he wants to instigate to sue for impeachment.It is known to all the world that the imperial court will beat the Dengwen drum.

Even if the emperor favors the Seventh Prince, it is impossible to suppress him.

Unexpectedly, the little leopard raised it by himself.

Jia Lian immediately said: "A suit against the court is different from a complaint. If you sue the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment, you only need to suffer [-] boards. However, to sue the court, you have to roll the nail board. Rolling the nail board is no small matter. The minor ones are seriously injured, while the major ones are fatal. Furthermore, even if you roll the nailboard, you can only sue the inspector, but you cannot sue your father. According to the law of the dynasty, the son does not speak of his father’s fault, and the son hides his father. Once you If you sue your father, you will not be tolerated in the secular world or in the officialdom, and your future will be ruined because of this, do you understand?"

Mrs. Mi sternly scolded Little Leopard: "I've said it, my affairs have nothing to do with you, even if it's a court case, I will go! If you dare to mess around, you are disobedient, and I will never recognize you again!"

The little leopard looked very aggrieved, he just wanted to sue his father and ruin his reputation.

Mrs. Mi thought that Jia Lian could also understand, he didn't want Little Leopard to ruin the rest of his life because of a scum.

Jia Lian rolled his eyes and thought of a way: "This dynasty governs the country with filial piety, if the wife sues the imperial court, the son can replace the nail plate. In this way, the son will not only not be condemned by the world, but will also be praised by others. "

While talking, Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Mi and hinted to her that his son would die if he didn't sue, and that he would have no future if he sued.

It's a dead end.And the only key is Mrs. Mi herself.

He hinted to Mrs. Mi that they must sue for this royal court case.

At this point, Mrs. Mi finally knew that Jia Lian really hated the Gu family and wanted to help his mother and son.

Mrs. Mi finally nodded her head in agreement, and told the little leopard, "Call Luo Wen and the others, and let's discuss together the regulations for going to Beijing tomorrow."

Because of her excitement, Mrs. Mi coughed violently again.

Jia Lian quickly gave her acupuncture and moxibustion, and used Yuanli to secretly treat his illness and suppress his cough.However, Mrs. Mi's palpitations can only be alleviated, and cannot be cured in a short period of time, unless Mrs. Mi can practice and improve her physical fitness.

It's a pity that Mrs. Mi's meridians are blocked all over her body, so she can't practice Qi at all.

Mrs. Mi was weak due to a long illness, and she had exhausted her energy just now, so she fainted several times during Jia Lian's treatment.

The little leopard watched her mother suffer from the disease, and her hostility rose again, like a beast that chooses to eat someone.

When Jia Lian suppressed his mother's cough again, the little leopard knelt down in front of Jia Lian again: "I beg you to eradicate my mother's disease. Once the little leopard is out of the disaster, I am willing to be a slave and serve you all my life."

Jia Lian frowned, and asked, "What did the previous doctor say about Lingtang's illness?" Little Leopard said with a sad face, "He said that unless the elixir came to my mother's illness, my mother would have at most one year..."

Jia Lian checked Mrs. Mi's body again. Mrs. Mi's health was fair. There were two main problems, one was cardiopulmonary syndrome, and the other was that she fell into the water and hurt her lungs. You can tell just by the pus and blood in her lung ducts.

Cardiovascular disease is mainly due to blockage of blood vessels. This requires Jia Lian to expend energy to clear it for her, and the damage to the lung tube needs to be repaired. This huge project cannot be achieved by Jia Lian's skill.

Jia Lian thought it would be a good deal if he could subdue this group of fishermen for his own use and consume a little energy.But afterward, it took more time to practice and come back.

Now that there are spirit stones in the cave, Jia Lian is not worried that the spirit stones will run out and he will not be able to practice.

After thinking about it, after careful consideration, Jia Lian made up his mind. He looked at the little leopard and said, "I can guarantee that your mother will live another five to eight years, which is enough for you to have children and let her have grandchildren." , make meritorious deeds, and ask for an imperial order for her, what do you think?"

The little leopard wept with joy, and kowtowed violently: "As expected, the little leopard's life is the master's."

Jia Lian helped the little leopard up: "So, let's discuss the matter of going to Beijing to file a complaint."

That night, Jia Lian was extremely restless. He had already found the lair of the canal robbers. If he hadn't met the little leopard mother and son, Jia Lian would have taken advantage of the night to catch them all.

Jia Lian has already found out that there are only 23 strong men living here except Xiaobaozi's mother, and they are all ordinary fishermen, but they are more courageous and stronger than other farmers.Jia Lian alone can capture them all and bring them to justice.

However, the order issued by Emperor Qianyuan this time is to be strict and strict, to catch one and kill one, and never to recruit.These people are not guilty of death, they were persecuted by corrupt officials and had nowhere to sue, so they became bandits.

Jia Lian thought that these people could be reformed and reused.

The most important thing is that Jia Lian wants to subdue these people for his own use.

Now Xiaobaozi, mother and son have agreed to submit to him, and the remaining 22 strong men have also agreed. As long as Jia Lian can help them avenge their relatives, they will be Jia Lian's servants in the future, and they will obey Jia Lian's orders for the rest of their lives.

Jia Lian was very excited.To do great things, a hardcore confidant is the key.

These 20 people are more bloody, more fighting, and more centripetal than the 20 people in Xishan.

The question now is how to persuade Emperor Qianyuan to agree to Zhao'an.

Just beating the Dengwen drum is not enough. At that time, when they arrive at the Golden Temple, someone must speak for them.Otherwise, according to the golden words of Emperor Qianyuan before, they would die if they went to the Golden Luan Hall.

In the end, Jia Lian discussed with Little Leopard and Luo Yi and decided to let the youngest Peng Shiqi, the youngest son of Father Peng, leave here to escape disaster in Changping.The remaining 22 people followed Jia Lian to Beijing on business.

If there were too many people in hiding, Jia Lian would not be able to explain to Emperor Qianyuan. After all, these people had shown up during the robbery.And Peng Shiqi has always been a secret whistle, and has never directly participated in the robbery.

After thinking about it, Jia Lian wrote a secret letter to Jia Yun and entrusted him to pass it on to Zhang's uncle. In the letter, Jia Lian detailed the life experience of the little leopard and the origin of this group of bandits.I hope Uncle Zhang will be able to mediate and urge Emperor Qianyuan to let these people live.These people are all capable of water, so they can go to the sea to serve, or go to Ping Anzhou to assist Wang Ziteng and King Xijun.

Then, Jia Lian wrote another letter to Feng Ziying, asking him to use his status as the left envoy of the General Secretary to investigate the details of Gu Pei, the inspector of Huguang.Look at how he described the fishermen's riot in October last year, and the illegal actions of the Inspector Gu Pei these years, so that I can sacrifice it in the court and give him a fatal blow.When they were in a mess, Little Leopard and the others just took the opportunity to escape.

As for the sporadic sources of spirit stones found in this mountain, Jia Lian kept it a secret and didn't mention it, since those people didn't recognize it anyway.

That night, Jia Lian let the pigeons fly.Is it expected around noon tomorrow, there will be results no matter whether it is good or bad.

The next day, Jia Lian arranged for Mo Shu Mohua to lead Peng Shiqi to Changping and go to Guanshan, but Jia Lian went to the cave to check the source of the mine. Jia Lian used his spiritual sense, good guy, there is a jade spirit that is purer than the little leopard's spirit stone However, the content of this kind of jade is very small, and the purity of most of them cannot match the one in Jia Lian's hand.However, because of the huge number, Jia Lian's spiritual sense could not fully see through the source of the mine, which meant that the surrounding area of ​​the cave was full of this kind of spirit ore.

In the eyes of others, these stones are just impure jade, worthless to break stones, but in Jia Lian's eyes, they are energy that can improve one's skill.

At noon, Uncle Zhang's reply arrived, and he promised to mediate for the little leopards, mother and son. As for Luo Yi, he couldn't guarantee it, because last year Gu Pei had preconceived it and reported Luo Yi and the others to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is very difficult to turn this case over.Because the son of the Gu family was burned to death.That child is the nephew of Concubine Shu in Gongzhong, so at least Luo Yi cannot escape death.

Uncle Zhang's family advised Luo Yi not to go to Beijing, but to hide his name and escape for his life.Because the Gu family didn't know that the canal bandits were the same group of fishermen back then.

Later, Feng Ziying's letter also arrived, and Feng Ziying also told Jia Lian that other people could be sent to the army, but Luo Yi would definitely die.He also advised Luo Yi not to go to Beijing. Even if he did, Feng Ziying suggested that Luo Yi and the little leopard mother and son should act separately and report to each other. The little leopard should not admit that he participated in the fight with the Gu family.He only admits that he robbed Li Shaoqing and Wang Shangshu for revenge.

And these fishermen also concealed their previous identities, and directly talked about revenge with the mother and son of the little leopard.In this way, everyone can get away with it, and Jia Lian's credit is also there.

As a result, Luo Yi was safe, and Gu Pei was also safe.

After Jia Lian deduced this, everyone fell silent. They were reluctant to let Luo Yi die, but they were also unwilling to let Gu Pei continue to be an official butcher.

Luo Yi immediately yelled at the sky: "Let this thief go, I'm not reconciled!"

Jia Lian nodded: "I am not reconciled, but if you gain something, you will lose something!"

Madam Mi turned to Jia Lian and said, "We want to discuss and discuss."

Jia Lian then went to the cave to dig for spirit stones, and let them discuss among themselves.

However, Jia Lian's consciousness never left them.It is necessary to be defensive!

As a result, this group of people is very simple, they are always arguing whether Luo Yi should go to the capital.Everyone is against Luo Yi's going to Beijing, only Luo Yi himself is not reconciled.

Finally, Mrs. Mi said: "Luo Yi, I used to be your sister-in-law, will you listen to me?"

Luo Yi knelt down on one leg, with tears in his eyes, he cupped his fists and said, "Luo Yi listen to sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Mi said: "I want you to accept Engong's suggestion and go to Changping to find Xiao Shiqi, will you go?"

Luo Yi nodded with tears in his eyes: "I'll listen to my sister-in-law, I'll go!"

Madam Mi asked again: "Do you know where Mr. went?"

The little leopard said: "I know, he went to the cave to explore the ore."

Mrs. Mi nodded: "Mr. is a trustworthy person. He believes in us. We have to be worthy of him. We will go to Beijing with Engong early tomorrow morning. At that time, Engong will take us to the Ministry of Punishment, and Dengwen Drum Academy is opposite the Meridian Gate. At that time, the little leopard and I will take the opportunity to beat the Dengwen drum to sue the emperor for grievances, don't be afraid, we don't have any lives in our hands, and lives should be fine."

Hearing this, Jia Lian dug hundreds of spirit stones with peace of mind. This spirit stone was so heavy that Tete asked two fishermen to take turns carrying it for him. Behind their backs these days loot comes treasure.

Of course, this time, only gold, silver and jewelry can be taken away, and a large number of medicinal materials can't be carried at all. We have to wait for Tang Hui and the others to carry them.

The path down the mountain this time was the same path that Jia Lian was tied up the mountain, because the front of this abandoned village was a steep cliff, and it was impossible to walk on it.

Because Mrs. Mi was tired, she was being carried for a walk, so the time to return took an hour longer than the time to go up the mountain.

By the time they went down the mountain, two dozen troops from Xishan were already on standby.

Jia Lian ordered Tang Hui and Wang Lei to divide the troops into two groups. Tang Hui was responsible for going to the cottage to remove the finances that the little leopards had robbed, while Wang Lei cooperated with Jia Lian to escort the fishermen to Beijing for trial.

Tang Hui and Wang Lei prepared the bookshelf carriage and waited for orders. Jia Lian ordered everyone to load the cages into the cart, and tied the hands of a group of fishermen, just like when Jia Lian was tied up the mountain, the group wandered towards the capital.

Once outside Xizhimen, Jia Lian handed over his spirit stone to Xing'er and Long'er who were waiting, and then led Xiao Baozi and his party to the Ministry of Punishment.

The news of Jia Lian's capture of the robbers had already spread, and when Jia Lian showed up at the gate of the city, acquaintances from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Military Affairs came to see the fun and congratulate him.Jia Lian co-authored Luo Shicheng, Zhou Yufeng and other acquaintances bowed to each other and complimented each other.It might as well be the first earth-shattering drumbeat.

Jia Lian was surprised, why is Mrs. Mi so strong?

Busy looking back at the Dengwen Drum Tower, he saw Luo Yi was beating there with both hands, the mountain sound of the Dengwen Drum Bridge.The sound of the drum was as straight as thunder, making people's hearts jump wildly.

At this time, the guards who were waiting rushed out: "Who is knocking on the Dengwen drum?"

At this time, Little Leopard and Mrs. Mi rushed up: "It's me, it's me, it's us..."

The guards guarding the Dengwen Drum had to take people to the Ministry of Punishment to register, and then the Ministry of Punishment would arrange to roll the nail plate, and then take the person to the Qianqing Palace to complain to the saint, but now three people came out. ?”

Mrs. Luo Yimi and the little leopard and the three exchanged glances. Now that they are riding a tiger, they can only fight. They shouted in unison: "The three of us can beat together."

Mrs. Mi said: "There are three of us, but my son sent me here because I am not in good health, so we are actually two groups of people playing Dengwen Drum."

The guards are very strange, this old lady, since she is not in good health, why should she come to beat Dengwen drum?He stared at the three of them and thought for a while, then said, "All of you come with me!"

Jia Lian suddenly yelled: "You guys are so brave, you dare to beat the Dengwen drum, do you want to kill yourself? Don't you know that if you beat the Dengwen drum, you have to roll the nail board?"

The little leopard yelled: "Guan Ye, my mother is not in good health, I am willing to roll the nails for my mother, and I hope Guan Ye will be considerate."

Jia Lian sternly said: "I only care about suppressing the bandits, how can I control you to sue the imperial court?"

The guard suddenly became confused, and bowed to Jia Lian: "Master Jia, do you think these people are the bandits you have arrested?"

Jia Lian pointed to Luo Yi and said, "This is not it."

The guard opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and it took him a while to wake up: "What? Their mother and son are bandits?"

Jia Lian said: "Exactly, it's all my fault. If you are proud, you will relax and let them take advantage of the loophole." Looking back, Jia Lian scolded the little leopard again: "I believe you. I think your mother is not healthy, so I can't bear it. I tied it for you. Relax, you actually caused me such trouble, and you still don't let me go back to the team, and follow me to the Ministry of punishment."

The guard's scalp became numb when he heard the words, and he only bowed to Jia Lian: "They beat the Dengwen drum, and they have to follow me to the Ministry of Punishment to register the nail rolling. You can't be a hindrance."

At this time Feng Ziying came to be a peacemaker: "You are all going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, why don't you go together, you each do your own business, each of you has your own errands, two things become one, what's there to argue about?"
